Friday- Homeschool Week in Review for Grayson

Religious Studies
Grayson continued reading through The 100 Most Important Events in Christian History and Christian History Made Easy.

This week in Bullfinch’s Mythology King Arthur and His Knights Grayson finished chapters 10 and 11.

He continued using his online Grammar program.

This week Grayson started reading The Emperor’s Winding Sheet.

He also completed pp.19-26 in Jump-In.

Algebra 2
On Tuesday he went to the math tutor and spent the rest of the week doing Teaching Textbooks Lessons. Since Tuesday, he has reviewed 94 which they will wrap up next week and has begun working on 95-98 that are due next Tuesday.

Forensics
This week Grayson read pp.1-10 in The Forensic Casebook and perused a forensics website. He also did lesson 1-7 in Crime Scene Investigations. He watched a lecture from The Teaching Company’s- Understanding the Human Body.

Physics
Grayson began Conceptual Physics Chapter 21 and watched the fifth lecture from The Teaching Company’s Physics in Your Life.

History
This week in TRISMS EOC Grayson began researching the Early Middle Ages and the Vikings. He a completed some vocabulary, filled in a civilization questionnaire on the Vikings and an Early Middle Ages worksheet, and completed some mapping.

He also read a lengthy excerpt from Beowulf.

Spanish
Grayson spent about 45 minutes each day working on SOS Spanish.

Arts
Grayson continued listening to Gregorian chants and looking at the works of Donatello. He also watched lecture 22 from The Teaching Company’s Great Artists of the Italian Renaissance.

Life Skills
Grayson is still moseying his way through Ourselves by Charlotte Mason. Ambleside uses this over a couple of years and I suspect that it will be taking Grayson that long as well.

  1. I love the castle and shield. I'm going to steal the idea of looking up the info on the family name on line.
